Model-informed Patient-specific Rehabilitation Using Robotics and Neuromuscular Modeling
NCT06008743
Recruiting
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the primary cause of long-term disability in the United States, affecting approximately 795,000 people each year. Hemiparesis, or unilateral weakness, is common after stroke and responsible for changes in muscle activation and movement patterns as well as declines in walking speed. It has been shown that increased walking speed directly corresponds to a higher quality of life in older adults and therefore, is often the goal of motor rehabilitation a... Read More

The Effect of Guided Care With Vectra Compared to Treatment as Usual in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
NCT03631225
Recruiting
The goal of treating patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is to achieve remission or low disease activity and thereby prevent joint damage, loss of physical function, and disability. Optimal management requires regular assessment of disease activity, with treatment changes made as needed for optimal efficacy. Vectra is a blood serum test that looks at 12 biomarkers and produces a score on a scale of 1 to 100. The Vectra score has been shown to be the strongest predictor of risk for... Read More

Vaginal Care System for Menopausal Women With Urinary Tract Infections
NCT05573334
Recruiting
Menopausal women have an increased risk of recurrent urinary tract infections. This is likely due in part to hormonal changes occurring during menopause. As estrogen falls, the vaginal microbiome shifts from a healthy one to a less healthy one. Because the vagina is close to the urethra, this vaginal microbiome shift contributes to a loss of protection against urinary tract infections (UTIs). The investigators are asking whether improving the vaginal microbiome using an over-the-counter vaginal... Read More

Simple Bone Cysts in Kids
NCT02193841
Recruiting
Simple bone cysts (SBCs) are cysts filled with fluid that occur most frequently in the long bones (arms or legs) of children. There are many ways to treat SBCs but it is unclear if one is better than another. The purpose of this research trial is to compare the effectiveness of two common treatments that are used by surgeons today.

NuroSleeve Powered Brace & Stimulation System to Restore Arm Function
NCT04798378
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to investigate if a person with weakness or paralysis in one or both arms, can use the NuroSleeve combined powered arm brace (orthosis) and muscle stimulation system to help restore movement in one arm sufficient to perform daily activities. This study could lead to the development of a product that could allow people with arm weakness or arm paralysis to use the NuroSleeve and similar devices to improve arm health and independent function.
